The drinks giveaway is like other scams that operate on a principle known as “like farming.” The name of the like-farming game is “engagement”. The more engagement a post gets in the form of likes and shares, the more Facebook’s algorithm pushes it to newsfeeds. The more people who see such a post, the more likely they will engage with it.
